Is this key policy decision a one-man jack-knee decision made in the heat of the moment by IGP to play to the gallery or explore and exploit a supply contract opportunity?

Do we already have this crime fighting technology in place? Are our officers already trained to apply them properly?

Was there adequate analysis of the root causes of the problem as well as articulated solution options that considered short-term and long-term effects of taking away guns away from policemen while armed robbers and kidnappers are just upgrading their own guns?



I just tire.
What is so hard in understanding that the problem lies in the mentality of these police men?
Wud those kind of guns stop these erring police men from planking, beating, slapping the citizens?
Is it not about their orientation?
the police man who got angry becos a guy was using a very expensive phone.......can he be said to be mentally and psychologically sound?
The police man that just looks for any opportunity to RIP people of their cash via the ATM, is his orientation about what the police force represents correct?
To me, the gun thing is secondarily. The primary issue is the 'person.'
Last bullet: the gun isnt wicked. The heart of man is.

Trust Nigerian police!! They will find a way to use Taser to kill you. They will tell you to open your mouth and shock your tongue with it.

I Was Shocked When Teaser Is Called Rubber Bullet Someone Should Get This Inspector A Dictionary

IamHeWrites:
The Nigerian Police says its men will no longer be allowed to carry firearms during operations.

Instead, officers of the Police Force will now make use of electro-muscular disruption technology known as teaser in place of firearms.

The Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Muhammad Adamu disclosed this while addressing men and women of the Nigerian Police Force at the Police College parade ground, Ikeja, Lagos, on Monday.

Adamu said the use of the teaser otherwise known as rubber bullet will be used by the routine patrols, arrest duties and other low-risk operations “as strategic approach towards reducing incidents of fatalities associated with misappropriation of lethal weapons by the Police as first line of response to any threat.”

He was reacting to the spate of extra judicial killings by some policemen in recent weeks.

IGBERE TV recalls that a 20-year-old Ms. Joy Ifeanyi was shot dead by men of the Special Anti-robbery Squad (SARS) on Saturday in Lagos. This comes less than two weeks after 36-year-old Kolade Johnson was murdered in cold blood by SARS operatives at a football viewing centre in Lagos.

According to the IGP, between January to April, 2019 “Lagos State has recorded four incidents of misuse of firearms which have resulted in extrajudicial killings of young citizens of this country and injury to others.”

“Its more worrisome that two of these incidents occurred within the last two weeks. Aside negating our professional calling, extrajudicial acts of any description or level by any police personnel is an unacceptable anomaly that creates distrust and disdain between the citizens and the police and widens the trust gap between them.

“In perfecting these initiatives, we shall be engaging with Human Rights Bodies, International Agencies Development partners and Civil Society Organisations.

“This is with a view to evolving a united front towards addressing these challenges on a sustainable basis and within the context of best international practices.”

Adamu further stated the Force will no longer tolerate the senseless killings carried out by some of its officers around the country.

“I must emphasise that enough is enough. The nation and indeed the Police under the current leadership can no longer tolerate abuses associated with the Police either in Lagos or any other part of the country.

“I have already ordered that a signal be circulated to all Police Commands and Formations warning of dire consequences against any personnel that by their incorrigible acts deviates from accepted Police culture and values.”

While warning the officers, Adamu added: “The choice now is for each officer to either resolve to perform his or her duties within extant rules, laws and policies or be prepared to be shown the way out of the system.

“Our visit to Lagos is also designed to condone with the families of the victims of the recent incidents of misuse of firearms or other forms of abuse of power by identified police personnel in the State and to share in their grief.

“It is also to reassure citizens that as an institution, the Nigeria Police will not condone any form of abuse of power, acts resulting in misuse of firearms, overzealous and sundry unprofessional conducts by members of the police regardless of his rank and position.”

Junk journalism,first of all they are called tazers and not teasers

1. Tazers are guns used to deliver electric shocks instead of bullets.

2. Rubber bullets are bullets made out of rubber and are shot from normal rifles,how you assumed that tasers and rubber bullets are the same thing beats my imagination,hungry bloggers everywhere posting rubbish online.

Bail is free you see it at every police station you enter but they would still demand bail and money for file.
Back to the mata
Nigerian police on regular duties should use pistols and SARS should seat down in the office but should only come out only when a distress call is placed
Just the way SWAT only comes out on terrorism , armed rubbery etc .

Then there should be proper background checks. Half of all SARS are former cultists or reformed arm robbers. Perharps thisx x intentional? do the the police believe that you can only check criminal elements by using criminal or reformed criminal agents?

Yes. It takes a former paddle man to identify one.

Oga not everyone commenting online is a kid or an ajebutter some have participated in things people like you can only imagine and hear in the news.

Beating up a police officer is the least of problems if you’ve being unlucky enough to go through things I or my friends have gone through in their hands.

They will be beaten and even handed over to superior police force after their identity must have being stolen. Goodluck to them proving their innocence without proper police identity.

Mpi,the story is still there and d spelling also as it is.You probably didn't read it because you don't have the mental strength long posts,only two paragraph ones at most.
For your further education,a quote is something you write or type exactly the way it appears in the original material.

You want to unleash tasers on Nigerians with zero fitness culture?? Half of the tasered populace will drop dead from heart attacks

Half of the tassered populace are more likely to recover from the shock than from a rusty bullet aimed to kill.

Nigerians get ready to start receiving the shock of your lives.

But on a more serious note, what they should curb is police brutality, even if you give those guys a broom, they will use it to beat the live out of you.
